Apr 22, 2013-Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim says he will imprison members of the top management of Sistem Televisyen (M) Bhd (TV3) for slander if Pakatan Rakyat forms the next government after May 5.
Anwar was quoted by Berita Harian today as saying that slander would not be allowed by Pakatan, for the government would be based on high moral values.
“When we form the next government, if TV3 continues to slander we will kick them off to prison,” he is quoted by the daily as saying at a ceramah in Kampung Batu 9, Changkat Jering, Perak.
TV3 is a private television owned and operated by the Media Prima Bhd group of companies, which also owns Berita Harian and New Straits Times.
Berita Harian also quoted Anwar as saying at a ceramah in Bagan Serai, Perak, that the BN is expected to continue with another slander on his alleged conversation with the Sulu sultan, Jamilul Kiram.
The opposition leader was speaking at the campaign for former Perak menteri besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, who is contesting the Changkat Jering state seat.
Anwar promises to cut petrol prices
Meanwhile, Malaysiakini’s Zulaikha Zulkifli reports that Anwar promised to reduce the price of petrol should Pakatan win and form the next government.
Speaking during his rounds of eight parliamentary seats yesterday, among them Changkat Jering, Padang Rengas, Kuala Kangsar andLumut. Anwar promised to reduce the price of petrol by May 7, should Pakatan win and take seat at Putrajaya.
“We must win come May 5, as we want to occupy Putrajaya. The next day, when we form the government, we will announce the reduction in the price of petrol. We have to study and make plans.
“What is the use of having a lot of money if it is not used to ease the burden of the people?
“Pakatan will also offer free education from primary up to tertiary level. This will also cover Chinese and Tamil schools,” the PKR de facto leader said to loud cheers from the crowd at the Kuala Kangsar ceramah site.
